The Türkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) has provided 112 tonnes of Qurbani meat to needy families in Lebanon, where Israeli attacks continue. 

An official handover ceremony was held in the Verdun district of Beirut, the Lebanese capital, for the delivery of the Qurbani meat to be distributed across the country. The ceremony was attended by officials from the Turkish Embassy in Beirut and the Yunus Emre Institute in Beirut, as well as representatives of Lebanese civil society organisations. 

A total of 112 tonnes of Qurbani meat was handed over to four Lebanese civil society organisations for distribution to families in need. 

Speaking at the ceremony, TDV representative Ahmet Tahsin Fırat stated that the assistance consisted of meat from 1,000 cattle slaughtered in accordance with Islamic principles in India. The meat will be distributed to people in need across Lebanon. 

Ali Ferruh, spokesperson for the civil society organisations receiving the meat, stated that distribution would begin, reaching families in need throughout Lebanon. 

Despite the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel, which took effect on 17 April and has since been extended several times, the Israeli army continues to carry out attacks in southern Lebanon.
